As it is hump day (although I feel like it’s Thursday, which sucks when it’s only Wednesday) I thought I would get going a little earlier this morning, and treat myself with a good breakfast. I hopped on a Citi Bike (for those of you who follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably heard me ramble on about this enough already) and biked down the Upper West Side to my favorite spot for a “before work” breakfast: Maison Kayser by Columbus Circle.

I love sitting outside in their French bistro setup looking at the people passing by. I catch myself guessing their profession as they all go to work. I can tell you there’s a lot of (in my mind) money-people working around Columbus Circle. Dress shirts, suits, tight skirts, heels. I’m very drawn to that work uniform, as they just always look so put together. Very professional.

Anyway, I sat there and enjoyed a bowl of fruit, a croissant, and a black coffee. It felt like I’m already on vacation! Such a lovely way to start the day.

The last two weeks has been full of events. I started vlogging, thinking that I would create a fun video for you guys (just to mix up the content in here a bit), but I quickly forgot to continue it once I came to work. And every time I was at an event I forgot to film the right way (vertical), because I was also doing my Insta-stories. Big time dilemma. But I do have some clips, so I might just put it all together at some point, and test it out. In the end you guys are the ones who decide what’s entertaining and what’s not.

Here’s what I’ve been doing lately:

Went to the opening of NSWF Female Gaze at Museum of Sex. I have kind of a weird relationship with Museum of Sex. It’s a liiittle bit too much for me, but some of their art is beautiful. This exhibit is definitely beautiful. It’s all about powerful feminine narratives and the artists are working with identity and life experience. You know I’m all for a good Girl Boss, and this exhibit is full of them!

Enjoyed life on a boat. One of the hotels that I do PR for had invited a little crowd out for a night on the Hudson River. It was such an amazing night with the sickest view of Manhattan, The Statue of Liberty, and not to forget the sunset! I may or may not have enjoyed a glass of champagne while being pretty satisfied with what my life has become (jk, it’s not all that glam and glitter, but you gotta enjoy the moments that are).

I’ve been thinking a lot about life, who I am, who I want to surround myself with, where I want to live my life and raise my children (that I don’t have yet). Big thoughts. But moving to another country raises a lot of self-identity questions. It’s hard starting over with friends, and not having your family close by. Not that I’m complaining about this amazing opportunity, but I’m definitely growing with it.

*If you find yourself struggling with the same thoughts in the City of New York, then I can recommend finding a spot in Central Park like the one on the photos. There’s somehow lots of space to let the thoughts run up there.

During my lunch breaks I love to walk around Chelsea and checking out the cool galleries. Here I’m inside the “Revolving Doors,” by Carsten Hōller with my colleague and below I’m pretending to be Alice in Wonderland in the “Giant Triple Mushroom” trio.

I finally received my “Love Wins” shirt from Two Song that I had pre-ordered as soon as I saw Aimee Song posting about it. I felt like wearing it in a white-on-white outfit with a 90’s touch from my new shades. Accompanied by this outfit I wrote a heartfelt blog post about love.

I’ve been wearing my favorite summer mules from Oscar de la Renta, and had a fun argument with Edward about the fact that I’m living in my white jeans!

Last week I had a delicious event! OddFellows launched their ice cream pop-up at Chefs Club Counter, and it was so cute that I definitely had to try them all. You know, I take whatever Instagramable opportunity I get, and for those of you who follow me @christinawonsbeck already saw the dreamy cones I posted. It was such a perfect day for the launch, although the ‘grammers had to work fast with the ice cream melting in minutes.

I wore a summer outfit-favorite that I knew would go well with the surroundings and the cute ice creams (I wish I had gone for these nails as well). The pink Rose Tits shirt from Two Songs that I live in, and some detail and length with the wide Zara pants (affiliate: similar here). I always love wearing stripes in the spring and summer time. Very ground-breaking I know (haha), but it gives me just the right amount of french riviera vibe that I need.

If any of you are in the Spring St. area in SoHo (62 Spring St to be exact), I would definitely encourage you to stop by for a cold treat in this hot NYC weather.

Yesterday was one of those day with constant rain, so my plans of tanning in Central Park all day and eating ice cream quickly burst. The past week has been full of days with sun and 30 degrees celsius, so I shouldn’t complain. Instead I planned a treat for Pernille and I in China Town. Because what do you do on a rainy day in New York City? You obviously check out a cute coffee spot!

I had been eyeing Sweet Moment for a while because of their iconic latte art (Instagram is filled with pictures from this place), so we just had to try it out. I got the Matcha latté accompanied by a Tiramisu, and Pernille got their Oreo Shaved Ice Cream. Yummmmmm, we were in for a treat! And seriously, check out the cutest little face on that latté. I definitely need to come back to try the chocolate and red velvet versions. If nothing else, then for the photo, because boy does it look cute on Instagram.

I’ve made a promise to myself: Say yes to more. Lately I’ve been struggling with my mood and therefore naturally revisiting the “what makes me happy” talk with myself. A talk that would often happen on a long walk with a podcast in my ears (Maybe I should make a blog post with a list of my favorite ones. Would that be interesting to you guys?). One thing that I’ve realized is that working too much and not saying yes to social events (because I’m exhausted from work) is the way to hell. At least for me. So without overdoing it, #balance, I’ve decided to say yes to more. Yes to more that will add to my happiness and well being. Adding to my happiness account, if you will. To keep myself up on this I’m going to start sharing these moments with you.

Here’s what I’ve been doing lately:

Dinner at La Esquina with my lovely friend Pernille. We celebrated June 1st with margaritas and some of the best tacos I’ve ever tasted. La Esquina is located in SoHo, and has the coolest retro look and most importantly tables outside (very important to us Danish people who use every occasion we can to sit outside in the sun).

Went for a peaceful walk in the Village. I often spend my lunch breaks going on a calming walk around the West Village. I love looking at beautiful town houses and cool people. Especially if I have a lot on my mind, this is the perfect cure.

Been wearing my new blue/white striped Zara shirt. I love the lace detail and how summerly it makes me feel. So much that I wore it two times in one work week. One day with my beloved Asos culottes (similar here) for a normal day at the office, and the other day with Levi’s 501’s and classic Gucci shoes for a preview at The Mark Hotel (where I also got to enjoy the amazing terrace).

I got my cultural fix at Walead Beshty’s Open Source exhibit at Petzel Gallery. It was 50% weird, 50% cool. I love visiting the small galleries in Chelsea and often find the art way more interesting than in the big museums (although I do love a good museum afternoon). And it always result in a cool Instagram photo.

Went on a romantic date with my boyfriend at East Village’s Raclette. Edward found this spot on Instagram and we watched many videos with melting cheese. Yummmm. It was so good, but we also both had a cheese hangover after.
